Bhubaneswar, March 26 -- Out of 51 constable posts reserved for women in Sambalpur district, only six are fulfilled. From this, a conviction has emerged that Odishagirls are not physically fit enough to be selected as cops.

Hundreds of female aspirants took part in the written and physical tests for 51 female constable posts lying vacant in Sambalpur district. But only six of them could manage to scrape through. This means, only 11.76 percent of posts are fulfilled, and 45 posts still remain vacant.

"It was really tough to cover 1600 metres in eight minutes. Here, 90 percent of girls were disqualified. The next course of action will be decided by the police headquarters," said Sambalpur SP B Gangadhar.
